Fragmentation of relativistic oxygen nuclei in interactions with a proton

The data on investigation of inelastic interactions of O-16 nuclei in a hyd rogen bubble chamber at an incident momentum of 3.25 A GeV/c ar presented. Separate characteristics as fragments isotope composition and topological c ross-sections of fragmentation channels are given. The processes of formati on of light fragments and unstable nuclei, and the break-up of the O-16 nuc leus into multicharge fragments are investigated. A comparison between the experimental data and the calculations of the cascade fragmentation evapora tion model (CFEM) is made. The observed singularities of the interactions p oint out the important role of the nucleus alpha -cluster structure in the formation of the final products.
